Q: Will my chimney have air vents?

• <div><p>Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-hvac-damper.htm">Dampers are</a> metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you&rsquo;ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it&rsquo;s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to run a gas fireplace for one hour?

• <div><p>Running a gas fireplace costs approximately $0.35 per hour for natural gas and $0.62 per hour for propane, though these figures can vary significantly based on fuel prices in your area. On average, the annual cost to run a gas fireplace is between $400 and $640. The exact impact on your utility bill depends on several factors, including how often you use it, the size of the room you're heating, and the fireplace's BTU rating. Some models with a constantly running pilot light will consume a minimal amount of energy even when off, although many modern fireplaces do not require one. If you are looking for a more energy-efficient option, consider an electric fireplace.</p></div>

Q: Who installs fireplaces?

• <div><p>Knowing who to hire to install your fireplace is important when it comes to having a safe place to burn a fire in your home. The best person to contact for installing fireplaces is a mason or general contractor who has a <a href="https://www.nficertified.org/public/">National Fireplace Institute</a> (NFI) specialist certification. If you&rsquo;re installing wood paneling, then it&rsquo;s a good idea to also find a pro who is Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT)-certified. </p><p>Both of these certifications show that your pro is well-equipped to install fireplaces and inspect your home for the utmost safety.</p></div>

Q: What is the top cause of house fires?

• <div><p>According to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), the leading cause of house fires is cooking accidents, followed by fires started by heating equipment. Electrical issues are the third most common cause of house fires. The best way to keep your home protected is to use caution when cooking and never leave a stove or oven unattended while in use. You can also keep up with chimney cleaning and avoid using space heaters to reduce the risk.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a wood fireplace and a wood insert?

• <div><p>They&rsquo;re both <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-wood-burning-fireplace-options-heat-your-home.htm">types of wood-burning fireplaces</a>, but a wood fireplace is built directly into a wall and attached to a chimney. A built-in wood fireplace often has an open hearth, although some models have an enclosed hearth. On the other hand, a wood-burning fireplace insert is a self-contained box that slides into an existing fireplace opening.</p></div>
